Abstract
Members of the plant family Cyperaceae are a dominant and diverse contributor to the floristic composition of coastal ecosystems. A mitigation of impacts is often needed where vegetation clearing for development will result in the loss of these plant communities. Mitigation may include translocating plant communities, which involves salvaging and relocating plants, or propagating and planting plants. However, little is known about the translocation of many Cyperaceae species. Understanding how Cyperaceae species can be translocated and established in disturbed landscapes is important to support conservation programs and to ensure that revegetation efforts contribute genuinely to biodiversity.
